Who represents me in the University Council? Who answers questions about studies from your perspective? Active fellow students from the student representative councils are the right contact persons, if you have questions about student representation, advising, and support.

Students' individual needs, their problems, and their potential will be recognized early on through an individual, comprehensive mentoring system, which will systematically advise students and accompany them throughout their studies. Students' academic success is promoted as well as RWTH Aachen's central goal, reducing the number of students who do not complete their studies. Photo: Peter Winandy
